The 2020 Dominica Football Association’s (DFA) Premier Division championship will be decided on the final weekend of competition.
After the penultimate round of matches last weekend, only two clubs have a chance of capturing the coveted title and the $20 000 cash prize.
Title contenders Happi Bath Estate FC did not make life easier for them by failing to secure victory on Sunday at the Windsor Park Sports Stadium in the second match of a doubleheader.
Playing against lowly ranked Belfast Estate Mahaut Soca Strikers FC, Bath Estate FC came from behind to secure a one-all draw. Adison Denis capitalized on a goalkeeping blunder by Owen Oscar and placed the ball in the empty goal to give his club a one-nil advantage in the 30th minute of the encounter.
In the second half of play, Bath Estate found the equalizer in the 59th minute when captain Kelrick Walter’s beautiful strike proved too much for Soca Strikers FC custodian, Casimir Benjamin.
The one point secured placed Bath Estate FC on 33 points, just one point fewer than defending champions Sagicor General South East FC.
In the other Premier Division encounter played, LA Enterprises Bombers FC defeated Central Cooperative Credit Union Dublanc FC by three goals to one. Cobin Paul continued his fine goalscoring form as he found the back of the net twice. Romario Burgins converted the other goal. Mc Coney Royer scored the lone goal for Dublanc FC.
To capture the championship, Bath Estate FC must win their last game against Promex Harlem FC and hopes that South East FC loses its last game. However, the title hopes of South East FC rests in their hands as a victory over Dublanc FC will hand them back to back championships regardless of the results in the Bath Estate FC and Harlem United encounter.
